I am brand new to Kalama. Went in with my mom and sister to get lunch. We got a Ruben, pesto…read moresandwich and a tuna all with pasta salad and chips. We watched the sandwiches be made it was sickening to watch them press on the sandwiches and foods with their bare hands. Everything looked like it came premade from a store. The Reuben was toasted too much it hurt my mouth. Nothing had good flavor at all. Pasta salad tasted store bought and was nothing special. And all of our chips were expired. For almost 80$ including tip this was SO not worth it. I will never ever be back and neither will my family.

New ownership (there was a sign/notice). Very pleasant atmosphere and amazing looking pastries…read more They were training a new employee while we ordered and although, she did not know what exactly a cappuccino was, the owner/manager was there to assist and describe what it was, how many shots of espresso were in a 12 ounce (I wanted two and their standard was one). I was very impressed with the operations and standards that were being established. I ordered my cappuccino - middle of the road foam, leaning towards dry. The barista brought out our order and asked me if it was okay...too heavy, foam quality, etc. I was taken aback because I usually order and the delicious drink is shoved into my greedy hands and I scurry away like a fiend. Today...I was asked my opinion on this creation. The foam was exactly correct and they cappuccino came out flawlessly. I truly appreciated the professionalism of the staff and their dedication to creating perfection.

We sat out front because side fenced in outdoor sitting is not protected from rain and it was a drizzly day. The front has an overhang. Insde was cozy and rustic. You can have any pizza's created 1/2 and 1/2. Hubby and I have different tastes in pizza so was perfect for us and both were DELICIOUS! He had 1/2 side with the BBQ chicken and my 1/2 was meat lovers, but with basil added. Got 1 glass of wine and a tomatoe soup and the bill was still only $35. Very reasonable prices! Everything was perfect!!! Flavorful pizzas. Our waitress was fantastic, friendly, attentive. We had a second waitress come check on us also, as well as a 3rd, young man (perhaps server or busboy) come out and give our pups a treat. We were awed by the food and OUTSTANDING service from everyone. Only set back is it's near a railroad track and hidden back of main roads so doesn't get as busy as youd expect, which can be a good thing too. Not a fan of busy atmospheres so we enjoyed it. We had a wonderful time. MUST TRY.

Little coffee stand on the side of the road with some smooth coffee drinks…read more They also sell 1 lb bags of coffee for $12. I tried the Brazilian and Chinook blend and they were both quite lovely. The service was a little on the slower side (compared to a Starbucks or Dutch Bros) because they had one man doing the job. But the foot traffic was not much and the coffee was worth the brief wait. This is definitely a place for "real" coffee drinkers, because their coffee taste like coffee. Not another "flavored milk" coffee stand. I definitely will be returning.

I had a card full ( the top line = a free one) So I went to get my free drink , I ordered a vanilla latte and two kids chocolates . I handed the card to her and she took the price off one of the kids hot chocolates not the latte. Now it doesn't say there is a limit of ounces of a drink or price on the card. If that's the case then it should say on the card.

I will start by saying I have loved Red Leaf since they opened up in Woodland many years ago. I've…read moregone to the Kelso ones and all have been great. I was pleasantly surprised to see one in Kalama as my in laws live up the road. My experience at this one was really off. I ordered the 20 oz Mayan Mocha with almond milk and they wanted ~$8.5 for it. The sign said $6 for a 20oz. I asked how it came out to that. She said almond milk was .85 cents I was like okay then it should be like $7 with taxes. She said the signs are old and it was ringing up ~7.65 for a 20 oz then .85 for the almond milk. I asked how much was the 16 oz, she said ~$6.45 with taxes for the order then when I went to pay said it was like $7.25. I really don't get the extra charge for the milk alternative either. Milk and almond milk are comparable in price. It's about $4.5 a gallon. Starbucks started to charge one single price regardless of milk option/alternative. I left without coffee this day. I don't think I've ever done that. Warning to customers, watch and be cognizant of what they actually charge you per drink. Pricing is mysterious. I don't like being baited and switched in price.

It's very much a old time diner who has the same regulars every day and night. It's a pretty chill place. Was calm and not too loud. Our waitress seemed new or could be because we were new lol.

I'd love to try here again though. I'm optimistic.
